Philippe Gordiani and Nicolas Boudier
À l’origine fut la vitesse, le testament de Sov Strochnis 
based on La Horde du contrevent by Alain Damasio

Immersed in audiovisual winds of sound and hanging on every word uttered by the scribe who has from the Upper Reaches, you will be on the edge of your seat as you experience the most powerful tale in French science fiction: La Horde du Contrevent (the horde of the counterwind).


Philippe Gordiani is an adventurer—he has set off on his second theatrical quest into the cult novel by Alain Damasio. In small groups, you will break down the walls of the theatre and let in hurricanes and staggeringly swift winds, as you follow a bone-shakingly thunderous story on a knife edge. You’ll need a taste for adventure, for the spectacular, to join this horde of a new counterwind that allows us to hear the creaking of our world. A reality that is not so virtual after all.


It would be a great idea to start with The Blind and then stay for this performance!
This production will also be presented at CENTQUATRE-PARIS from 17 to 19 December 2021 : 104.fr
